<2. Examples of masks, mask bases, and mask masks>

<2.1 First Embodiment>

With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the mask 100 includes a mask portion 10 and a base portion 30 formed of a material harder than the mask portion 10. The base portion 30 is a member that holds at least a part of the mask portion 10 visible from the outside and detachably.

The outside of the mask portion 10 refers to the side opposite to the side facing the face F when the user wears the mask 100 on the face F. Visible from the outside means that the surface of the outer surface (hereinafter referred to as the outer surface) 11 of the mask portion 10 is visible from the outside. When there is a pattern or the like on the outer surface 11 of the mask portion 10, the pattern or the like is visually recognized from the outside. Therefore, depending on the pattern of the outer surface 11 of the mask portion 10, the fashionability of the mask 100 can be improved or a desired facial expression can be obtained. In the following description, the surface of the mask portion 10 opposite to the outer surface 11, that is, the surface facing the face F when the user wears the mask 100 on the face F is referred to as the inner surface 12.

Similarly, with respect to the base portion 30, the surface on the side facing the face F when worn is the inner surface 32, and the surface on the opposite side thereof is the outer surface 31. It can be said that the outer surface 31 is the front surface and the inner surface 32 is the back surface. In other words, the base portion 30 is attached to the user's face F so that the front surface of the base portion 30 faces the outside and the back surface faces the face.

In the mask 100 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mask portion 10 has an inner surface 12 in contact with the outer surface 31 of the base portion 30, and the outer surface 31 of the base portion 30. Is held in. That is, when the mask 100 is worn, the base portion 30 and the mask portion 10 are located in this order from the face F to the outside.

In the following description, it is assumed that the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) and the vertical direction (vertical direction) of the user wearing the mask 100 coincide with the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the mask 100.

The base portion 30 is made of a material harder than the mask portion 10 and has a three-dimensional shape. The material of the base portion 30 is, for example, synthetic resin, urethane resin, silicone resin, metal, cardboard, or the like. As a result, the base portion 30 can maintain the three-dimensional shape, and the mask portion 10 to be held can also have the three-dimensional shape.

The three-dimensional shape is, for example, a face shape. The face may be the face of a person or the face of an animal or the like. Further, the shape of the human face may be a shape close to the user's face or a partially deformed shape (for example, raising the nose), or the shape of the face of another person such as a celebrity. You may. Specifically, the base portion 30 has a convex shape 34 at a position corresponding to the user's nose N when attached to the face F. This makes it easier to wear on the face F, and as shown in FIG. 2, the face shape can be made natural when the mask 100 is worn.

The base portion 30 has an opening 33 and has a smaller area than the mask portion 10 held on the outer surface 31. As shown in FIG. 1, the opening 33 is provided at least at the position of the user's nostril NO and the position of the lip L at the time of wearing. As a result, breathing is ensured even when the base portion 30 made of a hard material is attached to the face F.

Preferably, the base portion 30 has a plurality of openings 33. The plurality of openings 33 are, in addition to the above-mentioned openings at the positions of the nostrils NO and the positions of the lips L, the positions of the cheek CH and the like. In other words, the base portion 30 has a frame structure having one or more openings. As a result, the weight of the base portion 30, that is, the entire mask 100 can be reduced, and the stuffiness, suffocation, and oppressive feeling when the mask 100 is attached can be reduced, and the usability can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pair of mounting portions 20 for mounting on the user's face F are connected to the base portion 30. The mounting portion 20 extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the base portion 30 on the inner surface 32 side of the base portion 30 with the positions on both the left and right sides of the base portion 30 when mounted on the face F as connecting portions 20-1. It is connected to put out. The mounting portion 20 has the same shape as the vine portion of the so-called temple of the glasses.

Preferably, the mounting portion 20 is detachably attached to the base portion 30. The detachable attachment of the attachment portion 20 to the base portion 30 is, for example, attachment to the connecting portion 20-1 with the detachable attachment 21. The attachment with the detachable attachment 21 is, for example, screw fastening, hook fastening, fitting, and the like. As a result, repair and replacement at the time of damage become easy, and when the mounting portion 20 has a design, it can be easily replaced with a favorite mounting portion 20.

The mounting portion 20 uses a part of the user's face F to fix the base portion 30 to the face F. Part of the face F is, for example, the ears. When the base portion 30 is fixed to the face F by using the ears, the mounting portion 20 has, for example, the connecting portion 20-1 at one end and the ear hook portion 22 at the other end. The ear hook portion 22 is a so-called modern or tip cell having a shape that hangs from above the pinna AU. As a result, the base portion 30 stably contacts the auricle AU, and the mask 100 is easily fixed to the face F.

As another example of the configuration in which the base portion 30 is fixed to the face F by using the ears, the mounting portion 20 may have a portion having a frictional force such as rubber at the other end. Alternatively, the wearing portion 20 may have an ear hook portion at the other end, which is curved from the lower side to the upper side of the pinna AU and hangs from the upper side of the pinna AU. Further, the part of the face is not limited to the ears, but may be a part of the head, the circumference of the head, both temples, the neck, and the like. Even with such a method, the mask 100 is easily fixed to the face F.

Preferably, the mounting portion 20 is foldable. As a result, the size of the entire mask 100 can be reduced. As a result, portability is improved. In addition, it becomes easy to store in a case or the like.

FIG. 3 shows how the mounting portion 20 is folded in this order according to the first state 201, the second state 202, the third state 203, and the fourth state 204 of the base portion 30 and the mounting portion 20. Represents.

That is, with reference to FIG. 3, a hinge 36 extending in the vertical direction is provided at the center of the base portion 30 in the horizontal direction.

The hinge 36 has an axial center direction of the rotation axis in the vertical direction, and both members arranged in the left-right direction sandwiching the hinge 36 of the base portion 30 can be rotated toward the inner surface 32 side. That is, as shown by the arrow in the third state 203 of FIG. 3, the base portion 30 is folded at the position of the hinge 36 in which both members arranged in the left-right direction sandwiching the hinge 36 extend in the vertical direction.

When the base portion 30 is folded by the rotation of the hinge 36 from the second state 202, the base portion 30 is folded with the tip 20A and the base end 20B folded on the inner surface 32 side of the three-dimensional shape of the base portion 30 (third state). State 203). As a result, the tip 20A and the base end 20B reach the fourth state 204, which is completely housed on the inner surface 32 side of the three-dimensional shape of the folded base portion 30. As a result, even if the base portion 30 is made of a hard material and has a three-dimensional shape, it can be folded and miniaturized when not in use. Therefore, it is convenient for storage and carrying.

The mask portion 10 is made of a material softer than the base portion 30. The material of the mask portion 10 is, for example, a non-woven fabric, a thin cloth, or paper. As a result, the mask portion 10 is held by the base portion 30 to exhibit the three-dimensional shape of the base portion 30.

Preferably, the outer surface 11 of the mask portion 10 is patterned or colored. The pattern or color is, for example, an image corresponding to the portion of the face F covered by the inner surface 12. In the examples of FIGS. 1 and 2, the nose image 13 is printed on the outer surface 11 at the position 13A where the inside corresponds to the user's nose N, and the lip image 14 is printed at the position 14A corresponding to the user's lip L. There is. As a result, when the mask 100 is worn, the facial expression can be made natural or desired.

The pattern or color may be something other than the image corresponding to the portion of the face F covered by the inner surface 12. For example, a pattern or color suitable for the season or a pattern or color suitable for the scene may be used. As a result, the fashionability of the mask 100 is enhanced.

In order to hold the mask portion 10 on the outer surface 31 of the base portion 30, the outer surface 31 of the base portion 30 and the inner surface 12 of the mask portion 10 each have a mechanism for attaching and detaching the mask portion 10 to the base portion 30.
